We like the trucks. The trucks that go...

We're Tigra and Bunny and...

DUUUUUUUDE!

There's so much rad in this thread I dunno where to start!!!

For now: 447,000 mile zero rust Georgia Peach.

Also, we got A_LOT_DONE yesterday, and I *may* have just bought another one....

I'll just leave these here for now.

447k? That's great!

Those AR-23s are clean! I had first set that hit my hometown in NC on my S10.... wow that was YEARS ago! Looking like a fun time in store.

Never change those wheels. Perfection.

I think ECM is within the allotment, but I'll take the next higher bracket and say 80k miles.

If it's not painted teal and running white wheels and hot pink accents you've done it wrong.  Oh, and don't forget the angled, frenched license plate in the tailgate. 

EDIT. D'oh! missed the page 2 mileage reveal.

There's a reason I like you. Several in fact. This is one. 

Well I was way off lol! But I stand by my statement, that engine bay is clean as berk!

You have no idea how close to the mark you are, sir!

Just add yellow, orange, and RUST to the list. And lots and lots of subs.

Ordering stereo stuffs today.

Oh, and we hacked off the muffler. You know. For easier rear strut access.

Oh, along with the 4x4 D21 shocks up front, run ~2001 Nissan Quest rear shocks in the rear. Both of these are shorter, and valved well.

OOPS. Already put on the ones belltech sells. Not ideal, but better than what was on there.

Also, whilst riding down to the shed to grab wheels for the fors this morning, I said to myself "Self? What thd berkeley were you thinking turning a perfectly good farmtruck into a lowrider? "My neck! My back!

I'm gonna do the front leaf hanger redrill and give the recently acquired amazon plasma cutter a whirl for a little extra clearance. Need to hack the front bumpstops as well. Hope to paint the fenders this week.

Will have it (and a couple other cars) on display @why2k show at AMP this weekend. 
 

Skar triple 8's should arrive this week. Those kinda take precedence.

I did 2.5" up on the redrill.  Be sure to drill 1" back as well.

Swiss-cheese the front bumpstops with a 1/4" drill bit instead of chopping them - you're still hitting the bumpstops, but it is a more progressive bottoming.

I never ran bumpstops in the rear.  I did a pipe notch though....

In reply to SkinnyG (Forum Supporter) :

Oh E36 M3! Is that your truck!? I've read that walkthrough 2 or 3 times. Very helpful!!!

Subs arrived yesterday. Unfortunately I doubt I'll have time to wire them before the "Why2k" show at AMP Saturday. Might do it in the parking lot 

Why2k at AMP was rad! 
 

There were a couple other minitrucks there. Everbody had b0nerz for the S10, but the diesel datsun was the belle ov the ball IMO.

I plopped the sub box in but didn't have time to wire it :(

I also ran outta time to wash it. Lawlz.
